Pariter Takes Swing at Second Golf Course Scheme
Investment firm Pariter is partnering up for its next golf club development in Sydney, this time for a 250-apartment-plus-aged-care facility at Greystanes.
The Cumberland Golf Club development would upgrade the clubhouse and 18-hole course alongside the seniors development at 246-248 Old Prospect Road, Greystanes, 25km west of the Sydney CBD.
The company is a subsidiary of Plenary Group, a global infrastructure investor and developer responsible for the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, UNSW Health Translation Hub and the Toowoomba Bypass among other projects.
Its residential development arm signed a deal with Cumberland Golf Club in June, 2023 after consultation with club members.
The seniors housing element would be developed on the northern 3.8ha of the 38ha site, as designed by Marchese Partners and Life3A.
The plans show a four-lot subdivision, three-story clubhouse, six buildings of five to seven storeys, a three-storey care facility with 38 beds, cafe, consulting rooms and wellness spaces.
The ageing club facilities were in need of significant investment, according to the Ethos Urban planning report. The Cumberland Golf Club opened in 1935, while the existing club facilities were built in the 1960s. The club has about 2600 members.
“The original and preliminary design scheme contained a mix of two to four-storey seniors buildings and clubhouse,” the planning report said.
“Modifications to the scheme have been guided by strong feedback from the state government’s design review panel.
“[This includes] the advice to retain as many of the Cumberland Plain Woodland trees as possible, increase the setbacks from neighbouring properties and reduce the building footprints.
“The revised design scheme thus contains taller buildings with smaller footprints to allow for the retention of significant trees.”
Pariter is also working on the Chatswood Golf Club development to create 106 independent living units, which were due for completion this year.
Meanwhile, on the Central Coast, a similar development is in the works with Mingara Leisure Group.
